Am grateful for this group which provides the perfect place for stories like this one, which as you say, can so easily become a part of our daily lives. For me the language barrier has been the hardest part of achieving this but was quite impressed with myself managing such an extensive conversation on Sunday.

So much of this is about simply expressing our goals and our desires to those around us, without which they cannot know how to help. Important to recognise too that people really love to help, so being shy (which i have been a lot over the last 5 years) does nothing useful.

Big hugs to you Clare 🌟
